As I’m sure plenty of others can attest, it’s been a rather stressful and decidedly surreal past couple of weeks, so I can honestly say that it felt pretty good to be hunkered down in the studio putting together this installment of the podcast. On a personal level, this show has always been about seeking connections and understanding through music and sound, while looking out at and drawing inspiration from a much wider world. So, it’s with that renewed spirit that I bring you this latest episode. Notable releases this time around include new works from Theoreme, Roy Montgomery, German Army & Old Komm, Sarah Hennies, and Tamagawa Onkyou, along with stellar reissues from Syrinx, Builders, and Étant Donnés. I hope you enjoy this episode. Feel free to get in touch if you have any questions or comments. Thanks for looking and listening.
